17 October 2003: ModPlug XMMS v2.05 [ tar.gz + tar.gz ] NOTE: A major difference in source packaging has been done in this release - therefore packagers should be ware - BOTH libmodplug*.tar.gz and modplugxmms*.tar.gz are required.
The seperation was made due to quite a few programs+libraries making use of the libmodplug backend - which were unrelated to XMMS.
Changes:

Source seperation of libmodplug and modplugxmms.

Registered DMF as a known mod file format extension. (thanks to Timo Jyrinki)

UI updates in XMMS about dialogue.

Fixed "zombie" processes created during archive usage.

Fixed "clipping" in pre-amp part of modplugxmms (thanks Ben Saylor)

Improved packaging of source tar balls.

Improved autoconf/automake usage.

Added pkgconfig pc file for libmodplug.

Please see the modplugplay website for the latest version (including documentaion) of modplugplay - which is packaged with modplug-xmms in the source distribution.

Changes to autoconf/automake files so that they work using newer glibc (basically #define USE_NLS when needed)

Start of a translation system for the gtk gui

Removal of strstream C++ code (which is depricated) - replaced via stringstream. - This may cause problems for older compilers (if it becomes too much of a problem - then the simple C sprintf will be used instead.

Inclusion of a small command line modplug player 'modplugplay' - Thanks to Gurkan Sengun (although there seems to be a similar project called modplugline - modplugline.sf.net).

What is ModPlug?

Olivier Lapicque, writer of ModPlug (the BEST mod-like music player out
there), sent me his mod rendering code, under the GPL, in early December.
Seeing as how the current version of ModPlug for Linux was rather outdated
and had no GUI, I took it upon myself to make ModPlug into an XMMS Plugin.
For those who don't know, XMMS is a music
player for Unix-like operating systems which resembles WinAmp, exept that it
looks nicer.

I have only tested this version on Linux ix86, but I see no reason why
it shouldn't work on other OS's that support XMMS. So far it is known to
work on most, if not all 32-bit platforms.

What you need:

libmodplug has no special requirements, however a front end is required in order to
play the output from it.

XMMS (Required for Modplug-XMMS Plugin)
Note: XMMS often comes with MikMod. MikMod also plays MOD-like
file formats, causing a conflict with ModPlug-XMMS. You will have to
disable MikMod in the XMMS configuration if you want to use ModPlug.

Where to get it:

The ModPlug-XMMS SourceForge page has all the info you need on
downloading.

Most users will probably be getting libmodplug from a downstream source, such as their linux distribution, or video/audio player. Some of these downstream video/audio players which use libmodplug include:

Linux Users: libmodplug and ModPlug-XMMS are in most Linux distributions. Debian, Fedora, Ubuntu, Gentoo are all known to have these are standard packages
